I noticed that in DOSBox-X, when playing Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition that the CPU cycles are reported lower in the the menu than in the actual gameplay. For example in the menu the CPU cycles are between 400,000 to 600,000 but the actual gameplay the cycle are between 1,200,000 to 1,500,000...
I could just have a some kind of portable installation of Linux installed on an external SSD with DOSBOX-X installed but it wouldn't be specific to DOSBOX-X even though I could just use it for DOSBOX-X.
That's the one I use. Even if I could have a portable bootable DOSBOX external SSD, I wouldn't be able to run the script files for each game, so I would have to rely on a single DOSBOX configuration file for all my DOS games on the external SSD. I wouldn't be able to click the script file I...
I own several DOS games that I want to install on an external SSD for portability but want to use Linux Mint as the OS. I use DOSBOX-X specifically. I can do this with Windows through portable Playnite as the frontend and don't even need a frontend and just can search through the games folders...
Today I got an application error with a certain address message while I shutdown my PC in Windows 11 again. I thought that it was the USB connection on my XBox One Series X controller but this time I had it connected through Bluetooth, so it's not that. Also does almost dropping my CPU on the...
I just tried the 3rd and 4th USB port on the hub and the flash drive is resetting on those ports as well. Also, I went back to test the 2nd USB port again and this time it's having the issue on that port as well. Therefore, all USB ports on this USB hub are having the issue.
I tried the 2nd USB port of the USB hub and no issue with this flash drive resetting itself. Therefore, I don't think it's the USB port on my computer that is causing the issue, since connecting the flash drive directly to that USB port of my computer or using the 2nd USB port of the USB hub if...
Well, I returned the PNY flash drive for a refund since I was within the return period and bought a 2-Pack 64GB Memorex USB 3.1 flash drives. Still the same issue with the USB hub resetting the flash drive frequently. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 22H2 as the OS. I also did a Clean with Diskpart...
I noticed recently that I have a very weird issue with a specific combination of components in my system. I have a 32GB PNY USB 3.2 flash drive connected to my Insignia USB 3.0 powered hub which is then connected to a USB 3.2 port on my motherboard (MSI X670E Tomahawk). In this combination...
Then I might stick with what I have. I decided not to redirect my user folders to another drive at the OS level and just redirect them at the application level if given the option in an application to direct my Documents and Downloads folders that are located on my d: drive.
Anyone here think it's worth it to switch from a Ryzen 7 7800X3D / X670E platform to a i7 14700K / Z790 platform from a reliability standpoint? I've been having some weird issues in Windows 10 and 11 lately and I'm wondering if it's an AMD platform issue that might be solved by switching to an...
I reran the robocopy command that I did it the wrong way and cancelled it to see if that is what caused the issue but my redirected user folders are still there. I can conclude that it did not cause the issue. Also could it be because my Windows C partition might not be big enough? I only...
I recently installed Windows 10 Pro and performed a robocopy /e from my backup external drive to my D partition on my SSD and I noticed that after the copy finished that my user folders with my files disappeared. These folders were the Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Musics, and Videos folder...
That does not surprise me since your CPU only supports up to DDR4-2667 according to AMD, https://www.amd.com/en/support/cpu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-7-desktop-processors/amd-ryzen-7-1800x. As long as it runs stable with the memory speed it supports then it's not an issue.
Well now I have it setup as 1st 2 TB 980 Pro just for OS/apps as drive C, 2nd 2 TB 980 Pro just for games as drive E, and a 2 TB Samsung 850 EVO just for data storage as drive D. I can install my 250 GB 970 EVO Plus on the 1st. M.2 slot and move my 1st 2 TB 980 Pro to the 3rd M.2 slot and setup...
I also ran diskpart and assigned the letter R to the 768 GiB recovery partition that Windows installation created. Even though it shows 768 GiB in diskpart and the Disk Management utility, it shows 767 GiB for drive R under explorer. Also I ran diskpart again and assigned the letter X to the...
I now have it set as about 125 GB (not GiB) partition for Windows 11 C:\ and about 1875 GB partition for Games D:\ on my 2TB NVMe SSD. However, before this I did find a way to get exactly 150 GiB (153,600 MiB) for C:\ during the Windows 11 installation, at least it showed the exact number in...
I right now have a 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD that is sitting inside the cupboard gathering dust. I right now have 2 2TB Samsung 980 Pro SSDs in my system. One is partitioned into a 125 GB C drive for just Windows/Apps and a 1875 GB D drive for just Games. The 2nd 980 Pro in my system is...
I right now have a 149 GB C:\ partition on my 2 TB SSD, but I wanted to create an exact sized 150 GB for C:\ along with the normal sizes for the other partitions that the Windows 11 installer creates during the installation. I know that I can just run a 3rd party partition manager to adjust the...
The problem with that is that I would have to remove my graphics card which is huge and heavy as that drive is installed on the 2nd M.2 slot which is located under the graphics card's heatsink. Also I had a hard time installing the M.2 heat shield onto my 2nd 980 Pro SSD that is installed in...
What are the chances that setting to XMP in the BIOS can play a big part on this instability? Afterall, XMP is considered a form of overclocking as in it runs the memory at speeds faster than what the CPU officially supports, and I wouldn't be surpised if there are people who build their own...
I just purchased a cat 6 ethernet cable. I noticed that out of the box as I was unwrapping the cable, some parts of the cable were fused to the adjacent part of the cable. Was it like that so that it is easier to keep it wrapped up neatly or was it most likely because of a fault at the...
So is it better for me to have my games installed on the 980 Pro in the 1st M.2 slot (PCI-E 4.0x4 CPU lanes) in a dedicated games partition than having them installed in the 980 Pro in the 2nd M.2 slot (PCI-E 4.0x4 Chipset lanes) and use the 980 Pro in the 2nd M.2 slot for data storage? So...
Does the MS Store version of Forza Motorsport require redownloading the whole game if it was installed on a dedicated games drive (D: drive in my case) if Windows 11 is reinstalled including a reformat of the Windows drive? I'm trying to decide if I should get it through Steam or the MS Store...
AMD just released an updated chipset driver today for motherboard and a few minutes ago I installed those ones. I'm still getting the 150 MB/s in the 4K random Q1T1 write in the 980 Pro that's installed in the 2nd M.2 slot. So it's not a driver issue or at least trying a newer driver didn't...
CrystalDiskMark Random 4K Q1T1 write I get:
2TB Samsung 980 Pro in 1st M.2 slot: 251 MB/s
2TB Samsung 980 Pro in 2nd M.2 slot: 150 MB/s
My motherboard is an MSI Tomahawk X670E with two 2TB Samsung 980 Pros installed. Now the question I have is, why is the 2nd M.2 slot in my motherboard much...
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D/X670E isn't exactly a just-released platform as the 7800X3D as been released about 9 months ago and the X670E motherboards have been released about a year ago. As I said even Ubuntu 23.10 which not LTS but newer, I still get this message. Does that mean, I could be waiting...
To be more specific, here is the message I get just before the Ubuntu login screen:
hub 10-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)
I tested every USB port on my new motherboard and they all are working. I also tried Ubuntu 23.10 and it still has that same message. I also...
I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 7 5800X3D/B550 system to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D/X670E system and now whenever I boot into Ubuntu 22.04, I get a message saying that "hub config failed. Ports unavailable: error 19." All the USB ports on my new motherboard are working. I disconnected my USB hub and...
I'm considering purchasing a prebuilt secondary desktop PC or building one for non-gaming usage. Here is the prebuilt I had in mind:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/647427/powerspec-b734-desktop-computer
My budget is $600 before tax. I currently have a 250GB NVMe and a 500GB SSD not...
I noticed that in Linux, Lutris makes Windows games installed in self-contained matter, meaning that the games don't touch the main registry (not that Linux has one) or other folders that are outside of the main game's folder, such as Documents, Saved Games, or...
I think I'll go for the MSI Tomahawk X670E as it's on sale right now at MC and the MSI Tomahawk B650 is still at it's regular price, so I think I spend the extra $60 for a more future proof and better I/O capabilities chipset.
I have a Soundblaster X-Fi PCI-E sound card stored away in the drawer but it's too old and it's not compatible with Windows 11 and stopped being supported by the manufacturer. I use Windows 11.
I might be upgrading to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and was wondering if the MSI Tomahawk X670E is worth the $80 extra over the MSI Tomahawk B650. I don't own any PCI-E 5.0 devices currently and probably won't for at least 2 more years. I only have a single 2TB PCI-E 4.0 NVMe installed as far as drives...
Anyone here use Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, use a AMD Radeon graphics card or a integrated Radeon GPU? If so does the driver include a graphics control panel that lets you adust graphics settings in Linux and is one of the graphics settings a choice to set the RGB range to Full or Limited?
